Best shocks for a 68' RR

[Mstone68RR440]

It's time to replace the worn out shocks on my Runner. I know Bilstein makes a great shock, just looking for any other input on other reputable brands and best place to purchase. Weekend driver, looking for better ride and better response.

If your after a good road ride and not road racing go to a good gas charged shock. I even look for the non gas for the original ride, these cars are long compared to todays cars.

Got my gas shocks at Auto Zone. Rides just fine...

I'm sure just a fresh set of gas shocks will make a nice ride.

Ive got KYB's on mine. No issues, and it rides fine.

Ended up getting a set of new KYB Gas adjusts for $118 delivered from Rock Auto. Very happy with the feel of the car now, couldn't justify the extra $300 for Bilsteins with the amount of driving I do, so that money will go to a new intake and possibly carb.

Plain old gas shocks from Advance Auto,made a nice difference.

Good to hear the new shocks made the grade and your happy!

if you want to drag race 6 cyl shocks are the way to go!in the front at least/if you have a heavy tire + rim you want HD reg shocks but if you have a very lite rim and tire the gas ride is nicer-I swaped a set of 1970 alum slot mags and the ride was a lot better on my other car.
